[F]
I left my home back in [C] the mountains,
Mother and Father [F] passed through the east.
We followed our mother up to the [C] graveyard.
Though her mother was come to [F] heaven that day,
Mother is not here, she's only [C] sleeping,
Just patiently waiting for [F] Jesus to come.
Birds will be singing while Mother [C] is sleeping,
They will sing, oh, let the praise [F] be given,
[C]
[F] Oh, how we miss her round [C] our home.
She's so lonely, she [F] went away.
Mother is sleeping back [C] in the mountains,
Mother is sleeping [F] back in the hills.
Mother is not here, she's only [C] sleeping,
Just patiently waiting for Jesus [F] to come.
Birds will be singing while Mother [C] is sleeping,
They will sing, oh, let the [F] praise be given,
Mother is not here, she's only [C] sleeping,
Just patiently waiting for [F] Jesus to come.
The birds will be singing while [C] Mother is sleeping,
They will sing, oh, let the [F] praise be given.
